Okay, look. I'm sorry about the really bad layout of my last chapter. I uploaded it wrong, and I fixed it now, I had to do it over.
I know that everyone wants to know who Jack is, too, but I can't do everything at once. All good things to those who wait, and I'm sorry for making you wait, but I haven't made it to a part of the story that I can explain it yet. I don't think I mentioned it, so in case you didn't pick it up Jack is a doctor. Maybe that explains a couple of things. Be sure to keep reviewing if anything else doesn't make sense.

Three weeks later, they had still not found Max. Liz and the baby were on a couch in a hotel room. Maria was running around, fussing over making Liz comfortable.
"Maria, would you quit it? I'm fine." Liz said sternly. She rested her sleeping baby against her chest with one hand and stopped Maria with the other. "I'm comfortable. Go do something else while you worry about Max for me."
"Max? Who said I was worried about…" She trailed off as Liz gave her 'the look'. "You know, you're going to make a really good mother, making faces like that to stop lies." Maria joked. She sat down next to Liz. "I'm worried about all of us. Losing Max could be dangerous to all of us, and of course, losing Max must have been horrible for you. I just want him back here so we can all know that he's okay." "I don't think he's dead." Liz said to her. "I'm kinda hoping he just ran from the fire and didn't come back so that he wouldn't lead them back to us."
"Or maybe he survived and they have him right now. It could be Khivar or the government or… he'd be in trouble whoever had him" Maria's voice had turned monotone.
"I'd rather not think about that." Liz said softly. "I could have saved him, Maria. I could have seen the ambush and the fire before it happened and then… I could have saved him." Her voice was barely a whisper. Maria held on to her friend's arm tightly.
"It's not your fault, Liz." She assured her. "You didn't have any control over what happened." Liz looked down, and Maria moved her head back up so that their eyes met. "It wasn't your fault." She stated again firmly. Liz nodded, then quickly averted her gaze to the door as Isobel burst into the room.
"We've found him!" She exclaimed excitedly.
"What?" Liz jumped up quickly, jolting the sleeping baby so that she began to cry. "Oh no." She said soothingly. "It's okay, Baby. It's okay, Shhh." She began to address Maria. "You know, I didn't even know that she'd gone to sleep."
"You've really got to give the poor girl a name, Liz." Isobel commented.
"She has to be given a name by both Max and I." Liz answered her shortly. "So, when are we going to rescue her daddy, anyway?"
"They seem to be moving around a lot, so it has to be done tonight. We don't want them to move anywhere else with Max."
Due to her continual rocking, the baby finally stopped crying and there was a slight gurgling sound as she played with Liz's fingers.
"So, you're looking after Baby, then." She stated to Maria.
"Wait. Liz, you're not coming with us." Isobel protested.
"Isobel's right." Michael said as he stepped into the doorway. "Liz, you've just had a baby and-"
"And…" Liz cut him off. "Max is the father of that baby. I don't care what you say, because Max is my husband and I have to go save him." Isobel and Michael looked at one another, then at Maria.
"Don't look at me." She said, throwing her hands into the air. "This is another alien problem. Not that you're an alien… or a problem." She added to Liz.
"I'm going with you." Liz stated. "And you can't stop me."
Isobel and Michael looked at each other again and Isobel sighed.
"I guess you're gonna have to come, then." She said. "But your powers don't work, so you're gonna have to do some watching and waiting."

"Aah, Liz." Michael whispered as he placed his hand on her shoulder to hold her back.
"What?" Liz whispered back.
"Look at your hands, Liz." Isobel told her in a hushed voice. Liz looked down to see her hands crackling with green electricity.
"Liz isn't a bad thing." Liz snapped. "Whoever took Max is going to pay."
"Liz." Isobel touched Liz's shoulder lightly. "You've got to calm down, because going in there hot-headed can only lead to making mistakes."
"I don't care." Liz pouted. Isobel's hand was thrown off Liz's shoulder as the shoulder began to emit a green glow, too. "Come on." Liz touched the fence that surrounded the compound and blew a hole in it. As she stepped in, she looked around the normal government/army type of lot with the long grey buildings that stretched far into the distance and lights that lit up every inch of the grounds apart from the fence.
"Michael, lights please?" She said light-heartedly as Michael stepped through her hole, too.
"Oh. I wondered when I would have a turn at being the bad boy." He said as he held his hands up to the lights further away from where they were to create a distraction. He smiled contentedly as the lights blew out and a whole section of the lot was plunged into darkness. The three figures in the shadows watched as people swarmed out of the buildings like ants to find out what was going on. Michael grinned excitedly and blew out another set of lights further away to confuse them more.
"Anybody watching would think you loved all of this destruction." Isobel commented as she watched with a smile on her face, too. She looked at the people running around madly with longing. "I wish I could do that." She stated.
"Yeah." Michael agreed happily. "It is a lot of fun to make them run around like that."
"Especially if they took Max." Liz stated darkly, looking on at the running guards with intense dislike. "We should move before I start some destruction of my own." Liz's whole arm lit up with green light.
"Or before she becomes glow-in-the-dark." Isobel added jokingly.

Well, I'm sorry for leaving it right there, but I reached my word limit for a chapter… actually, I have writer's block right now and I was trying my best to extend the chapter to 1000 words. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE REVIEWS, and I hope you'll review again; especially with things to improve and that you don't understand. Again, I'm sorry about the spacing of the last one, I was in a hurry.
